We found an Ikea in PEK! It was fun to pick up a few things for the classroom + home while hanging out w my girls:)

First Day of Class:)

My Darling Miao Miao:)













My Darling Ai Tai:)
Ai Tai is such a sweetie and he loves to copy me when I say Good Morning Darlings! It is super cute to hear his chinese accent say "Darlings"
















Ai Tai + Er Lian + Xiao Lian

Such a Gentleman!




















Miao Miao = the star of the show!

Awe I love this pic w Dong Qing:) She is such a doll who shares my passion of reading. Currently her favorite book is the one by SCC + MB called Shoey & Dots Christmas Story:) She loves to read it everyday---- Super Cute!

Home Sweet Home:)

April + I enjoyed riding a bike around the driveway....why did we not ride to the nearest village? Good Question! Well that would be due to the flat tire that we were working with:) It was a great ride for me but a major workout for April! I love this women so much for all of the hardwork that she does on my behalf. Not only is she a spiritual prayer warrior for me but she is my counselor, pengyou, and JieJie:)









These are my girls! At the time that this pic was taken I did not know them @ all....but dear friends that has all changed. These women walk alongside me each and everyday with patience, kindness and Love. They are so patient w/ me when it comes to Language, Class, and New ideas. They make me laugh, cry, and pour out my heart in prayer over there sweet sweet selves. I love them so much and the words "Wo ai ni" just don't seem to be enough when it comes to telling them how important they are to me.

Ha! This is me unpacking in my new Jia!!!!!!! Yeah I love it! I love my home, family, and ministry:) Thank You everyone for making it possible for me to serve in this way!

Yeah we arrived in LYG----MBH here we come!

10-17 Saying our Goodbyes :)

Joy FM was raising funds for Show Hope the day that I flew around the world to care for their babies. What a great way to leave the country:)














Jeanne + Molly Jane + Usher +Chels+ Betty Ann (she is taking the pic)......I know it looks like I did a great job of packing light yet that is a lie. Truth be told it was a 3 month battle trying to decide what to take and what to leave behind. Now that I am in country I realize how silly it was to think that I need to pack 8 of every type of hygine product-----well you live and you learn:).....another thing you learn to do is do without or perhaps wear the same unwashed clothes over and over again. I know! I'm gross according to Meiguoren standards:)










I am in love with this gal. Her name is Tera and I met her on my trip to MBH in april. We are soul sista's who simply cannot do without each other. Her heart is even more beautiful than her looks-----I know that is hard to imagine but it is true. I must say I do miss my good hair days.....Oh well I would so much rather be serving here than have good hair days! :)











This is a picture of my darling dearest MJ Ransom. MJ has a heart for the ministry as well and hope to serve this coming summer @ MBH for a few weeks. She is a doll with the heart of an angel. I thank our Father everyday for giving me sisters like MJ to walk alongside me in this journey.

My Darling Mary whom I love with my whole heart. Mary + Betty Ann + April + I have a tradition Q 5 wks where we meet and April styles our hair.....I miss these moments. Yet once again I would not trade my time in this ministry for the world. Our Father has blessed me in abundance with this opportunity to serve His precious babies and ayis:)

SCC Concert in STL:)

The day that I am in the air flying to my new Jia my Meiguoren Jia are meeting in STL for a SCC Fundraising Concert:) What a blessing! Meet D Trask + Tom/Jan Wiesel-----3 ppl that have the key to my heart:) Thank You Darlings for pouring love into this life of mine!
